Ok girls. I’m 16w4d and I just went to the restroom and had this come out when I took my underwear off. It’s extremely thick and almost like glue. I’m a FTM (second pregnancy) and I’m worried I lost my mucus plug. Is that normal?!

I would call my ob in the morning and speak to the nurse. I don’t think it’s anything to be scared of but may be an infection (color looks off to me). Any odor or itching and I’d definitely get checked for yeast or bacterial vaginosis infections.

It’s normal to lose your mucus plug & it regenerate . I’ve been losing bits of mine almost every day . But that color does look a little off . Darker than usual & more green than I’ve seen . I’d call your doctor in the morning .

This happened to me last pregnancy at around 20 weeks, I got checked out and everything was all good. The OB said the mucous plus can regenerate but it was important for me to be checked out to check for signs of other possible issues like infection or changes in the cervix. I wouldn’t panic, but calling your OB is a must IMO!
